Contribute to Vancouver magazine

Information for writers:

Stories published in Vancouver magazine must be related to the city of Vancouver or the Lower Mainland in some way. They are often current affairs-oriented and should have a unique and fresh perspective on the topic. Most stories are under 1,500 words. Unfortunately, we do not publish poetry or fiction.

The best way to approach us with a story idea is to either mail or email a brief query letter. Please also include a cover letter with a summary of published credits as well as tear sheets of previously published work. Keep in mind that we have a six-week lead time. Please review a current issue of the magazine to familiarize yourself with our sections before pitching us.

You can reach the Vancouver magazine editorial department at mail@vancouvermagazine.com. Our mailing address is 560-2608 Granville St., Vancouver B.C., V6H 3V3.

Please be aware that we have a small number of staff members and we receive a large number of queries, so it may not always be possible for us to respond to your query.


Information for illustrators and photographers:

Vanmag is always looking for talented photographers and illustrators to contribute to our pages. We are open to viewing both professional and student work. We are also interested in visual story ideas or series (pending or complete) that relate directly to this city and surrounding areas, past or present. Submit your work by sending a link to an online portfolio, or email lo-res samples, to tdufault@vancouvermagazine.com. Due to a small staff and impending deadlines, please do not call.

Thank you for your interest in Vancouver magazine.
